HTTPS to HTTP redirect doesn't keep custom URL

Let's say I have a domain name called: www.example.com/today.php?id=123. I got it to redirect to the url www.example.com/yes/123/some-name with the following code:

Rewrite Rule ^yes/123/some-name$ today.php?id=123

But now I wanted to make that link always redirect to http when called from https. So, I tried the following code by adding:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
Rewrite Rule ^today\.php(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC,R]

What happens is that it get redirected to http but with the following url: www.example.com/today.php?id=123 instead of keeping the original www.example.com/yes/123/some-name. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

You need to make sure your redirect is before the rule that internally routes. And you need to match against the cleaned up URL instead of the internally mapped one. So something like:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule ^yes/[0-9]+/ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC,R]

RewriteRule ^yes/123/some-name$ today.php?id=123 [L]

Change order of rules:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule ^yes/[^/]+/.*$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC,R=301]

RewriteRule ^yes/[^/]+/.*$ today.php?id=123 [L,QSA,NC]

In general keep your 301 rule before pretty rewrite rules.
